At night, after the three armies were stationed, Xia Xun summoned the generals to discuss countermeasures for the current situation

The grim situation made everyone's expressions cold, and after a while, Feng Cracker Yan said worriedly: "Eight hundred miles of Hanhai, we have passed most of it, but the remaining three hundred miles of road is killing step by step. Horses should not have been able to travel long distances in the desert, nor should they be ridden all the time while traveling, otherwise they would not only lose their horsepower during battle, but could even tire them to death. The soldiers were equally exhausted, and if they continued to toss around the clock, even the most courageous warriors would collapse. ”

Xia Xun said: "I know, the problem is, we don't have a choice now!" ”

He paced in the tent for a while, and said in a deep voice: "It's my underestimation, this road is eight hundred miles of Hanhai, and it is difficult to grow a single grass, I didn't expect such a powerful enemy to appear!" It would have been impossible for a powerful armed force to appear here, and it would have been even more difficult to determine our position in the eight hundred miles of Hanhai, but now these impossibilities have become possible! ”

He slowly asserted: "There must be an inner jiān!" ”

Liu Yujue exclaimed: "No one knows the itinerary and time of Guogong's visit to Hami, no one knows in Dunhuang, how can it be ......?"

Chen Dong said gloomily: "So Guogong is careless, when he was in Dunhuang, Guogong's itinerary was very secretive, and when he was in Ganliang, he had a trip through Lu, and now it seems that Jiān fine should be in Ganliang, and ...... His status should not be low, otherwise even if it is Ganliang, there are not many people who know this information. ”

He, Feng Cracker's face was also ugly, he was a cool person, naturally he didn't want the culprit to be in Sweet Cool, Feng Lieyan opened his mouth, wanting to justify, but in the end he didn't speak, but his expression was very unhappy.

Xia Xun sighed and said, "Okay, let's not use these things for now, the top priority is how to get out of the predicament." ”

Saihazhi thought for a while and said, "Guogong, do you want to send light horsemen on the road and rush to Hami first, and ask the king of Hami to raise a large army to meet Guogong?" ”

Liu Yujue shook his head and said, "Seeing the enemy's meticulous actions, I'm afraid this point has already been thought of by them, if we send a group of people, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach Hami at all!" ”

Saihazhi was anxious: "Since we can't find reinforcements, and now we are being watched by a strong enemy, can we do nothing, wait for the soldiers and horses to be weak, and the strong enemy will not be able to attack?" ”

Xia Xun said in a deep voice: "There is no victorious general in the world, so you have to plan for the worst!" The wind commands, the desert walls, the most familiar, but now, I hand over the power to command the whole army, including me, everything is arranged! ”

This is Xia Xun's cleverness, he is clever, not that he has no last resort, and is proficient in the art of war without a teacher, and is familiar with the combat characteristics of various terrain environments, but he can use people and give full play to the ability of his generals, he is not a person who can general, but he can general!

The geography of the Western Regions, with the desert walls in the majority, and the northern grassland is different, the northern grassland is covered with snow everywhere in winter, and once out of the Yumen Pass, often will pass through the barren land that does not even fall snow, the environment is a hundred times worse than the north, here, even Saihazhi is considered a layman, only the wind and the flame are familiar with everything, understand everything.

Feng Lieyan was a little surprised when he listened to Xia Xun's order, he didn't expect that Chen Dong had just returned to Xiliang and had an inner jiān, but Xia Xun could still have such trust in him, this was to hand over his net worth and life to him. Feng Lieyan was both frightened and moved, he wanted to be humble, but Xia Xun said in an unquestionable tone: "Don't excuse yourself!" Here, if we don't command well, we will be even more unbearable!

Wind Commander, just let it go, no matter what the arrangement, I fully support! The current situation is very dangerous, and a strong enemy will launch a deadly attack on us at any time, and I have called him to take over the overall command, not to solve this problem, but it will be difficult for the strongman. No matter success or failure, no matter life or death, do your best and obey the destiny of heaven! ”

"I ...... I ......, and I will obey! ”

Feng Lieyan solemnly gave a military salute to Xia Xun, thinking only in his heart: "I have fought for my life, and I will also protect the country!" ”

"Celine, Jeanne, are you resting?"

Xia Xun dispersed the meeting, walked back to his sleeping tent, and in the moonlight, he saw the residence of Celine and Jeanne next to him, he hesitated, walked over, stood at the tent and called softly.

The lights were lit inside, and Celine and Jeanne came out together, and because the army was always on guard, even they were neatly dressed so that they could go on the road at any time, so they just slept in their clothes, and got up very quickly.

"Sir!"

When the two girls saw Xia Xun, they were a little overwhelmed. They are very clear about the current situation, and naturally they will not be so crazy that they think that Xia Xun came to them to have fun, especially after opening the tent, seeing Xia Xun's cold face, the two girls were even more worried.

"Let's go inside!"

After Xia Xun finished, he walked in at the moment, Xilin hurriedly raised the lantern, and inside the tent, Tang Sai'er was sleeping in a corner with clothes, with a wolf skin mattress under him, covered with a thick sheepskin coat, his face was red, and he was not woken up by them.

Celine hung the lantern on the pillar in the tent, and Jeanne stood in front of Xia Xun restrainedly, Xia Xun sat down on the spot, sat on their mattress, the tentacles were warm, obviously the two girls had fallen asleep, just woken up by him.

"Sit down, sit down!"

When the two girls heard this, they sat down opposite Xia Xun, and their two big blue eyes were still staring at him for a moment, not knowing what he wanted.

"This time...... I'm afraid it's dangerous! ”

Xia Xun's voice was a little difficult: "In the past, I have encountered this kind of scene on the line of life and death more than once. However, at that time, I was alone, and there were no thousands of brothers to consider about the future of their lives, and I didn't feel anything if I was single-handed, killing in and out, but now it is not done, the vast vast sea, uninhabited, three thousand guards, responsible for my safety, I am also responsible for these three thousand brothers. Come and go, no longer so casual, life and death, don't talk lightly! ”

Xia Xun sighed, raised his head and stared at them: "However, the horse leather shroud is the true nature of a warrior, and there is nothing original. Only you ......, I brought you here, I only thought about what I saw and heard at any time, what people I met, with your knowledge can help me, I really didn't expect to encounter such a danger today, we should not be here, it is my fault to bring you into danger! ”

Xia Xun stared at them sincerely and said solemnly: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!" ”

"Sir!"

The two turtle beauties looked at Xia Xun in astonishment, a layer of mist quickly condensed in their bright big eyes, and then turned into crystal teardrops, rolling down their cheeks one by one, they didn't expect it, they really didn't expect it, the old man visited the sleeping tent at night, just to say to them, "I'm sorry!" ”

They were young and withered, and they were bought to be trained and cultivated, until they became beautiful girls, and then they were sold and sold, and everyone treated them as a piece of goods, and never violated and possessed them, just because they were strange goods, and they wanted to exchange them for greater benefits. They didn't know how many times they were transferred, and they were finally given to Xia Xun.

Who cares about them? They don't expect anyone to care about them at all, and they don't dare to expect anyone to treat them as flesh and blood, and they just want to have a way to live.

Xia Xun is in a high position, and he is the only man they can contact, she thinks to them, if she can be included in Xia Xun's account, there will be a guarantee in this life. In addition to this utilitarian idea, Xia Xun is young and handsome, especially with a good life, good maintenance, and martial arts have been practiced diligently, although he is in his thirties, he is still like a twenty-something, such a young and golden handsome son, of course they will also be emotional.

But emotional, not necessarily tempting, this heart is the heart of life, entrusted to the heart, life and death will not be separated, poverty will not give up the sincerity, true feelings!

But they never thought that at this extremely dangerous juncture, Xia Xun, the high-ranking grandfather of the country, would come to them and say "I'm sorry!" ”

This respect and care made their hearts warm, and Xia Xun's figure was really imprinted in their hearts at this moment.

"Sir...... I'm ...... We are the master's people, life and death, of course we should follow the master, the master does not need to ...... No need to apologize to us! ”

Jeanne, who has always been hearty and enthusiastic, much more generous than Celine, who is a little shy, also stammered at this time.

Xia Xun shook his head: "I never felt that you were inferior!" This time, the situation is really serious, the force of the people who came is very strong, and they are so painstaking, the target must be me, this is different from ordinary raids, so if they don't achieve their goal, they won't stop. It's a never-ending situation, and we're ...... It's on the downside! ”

Xia Xun turned his head, looked at the sleeping Sai'er, turned to them again, and said with a serious expression: "Celine, Jeanne, I can't be sure if we can reach Hami safely, if we can reach Hami without danger, then naturally everything will be suspended." If the enemy attacks at the right time......"

Xia Xun was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "It's almost certain, the chase in the desert, we are sad, they won't be comfortable, and...... After a hundred miles, the outposts of the King of Hami will come to meet them, so I expected that their attack will not be tonight, but tomorrow.

Our soldiers and horses are very tired, the original combat strength, I am afraid that seventy percent out of ten can not be played, but the enemy's combat power is not below us, the strength is even farther above us, this battle, it is difficult to fight! In the battle, I will try to break through with them as much as possible, and if the enemy is strong, I will lead the enemy away! Their target is me, and this is the only chance to avoid total annihilation. If that......"

Xia Xun looked at Celine and then at Jeanne: "We are from Qiuzi country, familiar with the customs of the Western Regions, once we escape, we are the people who are most likely to survive." When the time comes, run for your life, take Sai'er with you, and if possible, find a way to send her back to the Central Plains in the future. As long as she is handed over to a caravan, the Ming Fuguo Mansion will have a heavy reward, and they will be more than willing to help. As for you, whether you want to stay in your hometown and get married, or whether you want to go back to the Central Plains, it's up to you to decide! When that moment comes, you will be free and no longer anyone's slaves! ”

"Old man......"

The two girls were in tears, sobbing and unable to speak.

Xia Xun put his big hand on their shaved shoulders and pressed it heavily: "Work hard to live!" Remember, once you break through, you are lonely, don't flee in the direction of Hami immediately, the vast desert, we are not their main target, as long as you carry enough water and food, it is easy to hide for a few days, and then wait for the opportunity to move when the matter is over! ”

"No, master, we are willing to live and die with my lord!"

The two girls threw themselves into his arms with tears streaming down their faces.

Xia Xun's hands stiffened for a moment, gently hugged them, and chuckled: "Silly girl, all stupid words!" ”

He sighed, and in a tone that could not be questioned, he said firmly: "Do as I do!" Tongsheng, I do! I don't allow to die together! ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Wind Crack hurried to the baggage camp and circled around the camels.

Chen Dong and Ye An also followed him, they first saw Feng Rift Yan asking people to find ordinary shepherd clothes, prepare dried meat and drink water, and then saw him running to the baggage camp, they couldn't help but be inexplicable, the two of them secretly doubted in their hearts, but they just watched coldly, wanting to see what he was going to do.

The 3,000-strong army crossed 800 miles of Hanhai, and the people were fed by horses and horses, and a lot of food and water were needed, so hundreds of camels were prepared in the baggage camp, and almost half of the camels that could be requisitioned in Dunhuang were brought. Camels have a strong load-bearing capacity and are suitable for activities in an area like the desert wall, which is the best means of transportation, if it were not for the fact that most of the soldiers were not accustomed to riding camels, and there were not enough camels, he suggested that all the 3,000 soldiers should change to riding camels, so that there would be no need to carry so much baggage.

Feng Fierce Yan arrived at the baggage camp, circling around one camel after another, the camel team did not need a rider for each camel, as long as a person was asked to ride the head camel, and then connected the reins together, you could lead a long list of camels to travel, so there were not many people who took care of the camels, Feng Fierce Yan found them all, carefully asked which camels eat poorly, do not like to eat grass, and even do not eat or drink, rumination stopped, always standing on the high ground to the wind, especially some mouth foaming, constantly grinding teeth, the smell on the tail is particularly strong, The more unpleasant smelling male camels were all picked out by him.

Chen Dong couldn't help but look at his strange actions, and stepped forward and asked, "General Feng, what are you doing?" ”

Feng Cracker said in a low voice: "We can't grasp the enemy's movements, so we can only wait for the enemy to take the initiative to attack, when they attack with all their might, it is the best time for us to break through, I will pick some camels out as a ride for Guogong and his entourage, if we have to, we must always do our best to ensure the safety of Guogong!" ”

Ye An was dumbfounded: "This ...... These camels that refuse to graze and foam at the mouth are the chosen rides? Camels are so slow that they can ride them to break through? ”

Feng Lieyan glanced at him and snorted: "What do you know, camels usually walk slowly, but they really run, in this desert wall, faster than horses!" The camels I picked out were all male camels in estrus, and the camels at this time ran twice or even twice as fast as usual! ”

Feng Lieyan looked at the thirty or forty camels that he picked out, and said in a deep voice: "Whether Guogong can break through depends on our fight to the death, luck, and ...... These camels in heat are gone! ”

Three more than 10,000, the camel in heat asks for a guarantee!! ro！
